AH: Wilson chooses ex-aide's kin for post Sacramento Gov. Wilson has appointed the sister of his late communications director, Otto Bos, to a $57,500-a-year job at the Department of Social Services.

Grace Bos of Rancho Cordova was named last week as an assistant to a deputy director in the department's Office of Community Affairs.

Bos, who died in 1991, was a longtime aide to the governor and had served as his press secretary when Wilson was mayor of San Diego in the 1970s. Bos later played a major role in Wilson's successful campaigns for the U.S. Senate and his 1990 race for governor.

Grace Bos has served as an associate public advisor to the California Energy Commission since 1991. She has also been an account executive for the Stoorza, Ziegaus & Metzger public relations firm in Sacramento.

Contest to mark

new BART station Oakland BART says it has launched a "Putting the Future on Track" poster contest for students in the Mount Diablo and Martinez Unified School Districts in celebration of the first new BART station in almost 20 years.

The North Concord / Martinez station will open Dec. 16., when 10 contest winners will be announced at a celebration for the station.

The contest is open to kindergarten through 12th grade students in the two districts. BART says entries should demonstrate students' connection to BART and must be received by Nov. 22.

Entries should be taken or mailed to the BART Community Service Center in the Holbrook Plaza Shopping Center, 3375 Port Chicago Highway, Concord CA 94520.

Jury picked for trial of

disabled protesters Sacramento A jury of nine men and three women has been selected for the trial of 23 disabled people cited for disturbing the peace outside Gov. Wilson's office during a protest last summer against proposed Supplemental Security Income cuts.

If convicted, the protesters face a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

The defendants, many of them in wheelchairs, were cited July 26 on misdemeanor charges of interfering with official business at the Capitol and failing to disperse as ordered by police.

The group was demonstrating against Wilson's proposal to reduce SSI payments to more than 1 million disabled people in the state by as much as 9.8 percent, or $60 per month. The cuts later were approved by the Legislature as part of the 1995-96 budget, but most of them will require congressional action as well.&lt;
